For whom is following from home, Sagar shared a minimal example with me
in a private message (I don't know why, the example does not contain any
personal information, AFAICT).
The issue is this:
2023-08-31 pad Assets:Debt:Friend Equity:Opening-Balance
2023-08-31 balance Assets:Debt:Friend 10000 PHP
The pad and balance directives have the same date. Benancount orders
balance directives before any other directive. The balance directives
are to be intended as "start of the day balance". The order in which the
directives are processed is actually the reverse of how they are
written, and thus the balance assertion fails and the pad is unused.
Moving the balance assertion to 2023-09-01 fixes the issue.
Cheers,
Dan

The example above works as expected for me. Your ledger must be invalid
for some other reason. Are these the only errors you get?
Cheers,
